"Certificate of Friendship?"

Michelle Goba carefully looked at the so-called friendship certificate from left to right, up and down, but didn't understand what it was.The above is indeed the signature certificate of the Football Association of Côte d'Ivoire.When will the Côte d'Ivoire Football Association still engage in this kind of thing.What does it mean?Because it was the first time he saw such a thing.

"Mr. Cherny, this is..."

In the end, Michelle Goba didn't even figure out what this thing was, so he looked at Rist apologetically.After taking it over, Rist smiled and said, "I went to Côte d'Ivoire in October last year. At that time, Puma sponsored a friendly match between the Czech national team and the Côte d'Ivoire national team. Do you know this? ?”

Michel Goba nodded.Although he has been in France for more than ten years, he is a native of Ivory Coast and was once an Ivorian footballer, so he knows many things about Ivorian football.After all, many of his teammates who played with him more than 20 years ago are now important figures in Ivorian football.Many people have also entered the Football Association of Côte d'Ivoire.So his news is still very fast.

Puma's sponsorship of the Côte d'Ivoire national team is a very big thing in Côte d'Ivoire football.After all, although Puma is not as good as Nike and Adidas, it is also the world's largest sports brand.Moreover, having such a sponsor for a Côte d'Ivoire national team that is almost streaking can't be said to be a groundbreaking or unprecedented event.Therefore, he also paid attention to the friendly match between the Czech national team and the Côte d'Ivoire national team.

"At that time, I was able to play this friendly match, except that Puma was the sponsor of the game. I facilitated it. Now half of the players of the Czech national team are players under my banner. Then, in order to thank me, the chairman of the Côte d'Ivoire Football Association gave such a representative Proof of friendship. Hopefully my friendship with Ivorian football will continue."

This statement is half-truth and half-truth.In the friendly match between the Czech national team and the Côte d'Ivoire national team at that time, Rist's contribution was definitely not small.If Puma hadn't persuaded Rist, Rister might have allowed ace players like Poborski and Nedved to rest.Long-distance raids to Africa to play games are a big problem for players' physical strength.But it was precisely because of Rist's assistance that there were not a single big-name player in the Czech national team at that time.

As for this proof of friendship, it was not given to Rist by the chairman of the Ivorian Football Association at all.Rist has no friendship with their chairman, how could he give him such a thing.But this thing is not forged by Rist, because this is indeed given to Rist by the chairman of the Ivorian Football Association in the name of the Ivorian Football Association.

the reason is simple.Rist asked for it from the president of the Ivorian Football Federation through Merkley and Puma's Jochen Reitz.This thing has no effect, and the Football Association of Côte d'Ivoire is unwilling to offend Merkley and Jochen Leitz.This is just a written thank-you letter, something like this can be done in minutes for the Ivorian Football Association.Don't let them lose anything.So it was very simple to open this thing for Rist.

This thing is probably useless in anyone's hands.But it was useful for Rist.Because Côte d'Ivoire was a former French colony, there are now many French descendants in Côte d'Ivoire.Similarly, many descendants of Côte d'Ivoire live in France.There are also many outstanding players.

Riester didn't want to let them go, especially Didier Drogba, the face of Ivorian football for the next decade.But what did Riester use to gain his trust, and what to use to convince others.Rist came up with such a thing.Sure enough, Michel Goba heard it because of this reason.So the expression looks much better.Although for a broker like Rist.Michel Goba didn't dare to wait too long.But with this proof.Obviously feeling much closer.

Although Michel Goba has been away from Côte d'Ivoire for nearly 20 years, he is a native of Côte d'Ivoire after all and has extraordinary feelings for Côte d'Ivoire.

"Mr. Cherny. I wonder what you want from me?"

"Your nephew."

"Didier?"

Although Michelle Goba guessed something, he was still surprised.Didier Drogba is the nephew of Michel Goba. When Drogba was five years old, that is, 15 years ago, he followed his uncle to France.Didier Drogba is almost like Michel Goba's son.

That's why he was even more surprised.Although he is his nephew, in the eyes of Michelle Goba, Drogba is not a very good player.In addition to good physical fitness, explosive power, speed, and jumping ability are all excellent, the basic skills of football are average.And he has played from defender to midfielder to forward, and now he is playing forward, but he doesn't see any outstanding talent.

In his opinion, it is very good for his nephew to have the opportunity to play in Ligue 20 in the future.Because Drogba is now 20 years old, but has not yet appeared in a professional league.Although the Le Mans club in the second division signed Drogba last summer.But last season Drogba didn't play a single game, he didn't even enter the first team, and he spent all of his time in the youth team at Le Mans. At the age of [-], he is still playing in the youth team of the second division. From the perspective of development prospects, it is a luxury to gain a foothold in the top teams of Ligue [-].

Of course, for some small agents, it is good to have Ligue [-] players.So it is possible to cast the net in advance while Drogba has not yet made his fortune.

But who is Rist?In the just-concluded one-eighth knockout round, the Czech national team easily eliminated Nigeria [-]-[-] and entered the quarter-finals of the World Cup.Needless to say, big stars like Poboski and Nedved, even the young players Jankulovski and Jan Koller who played in the second half are all players under Riester's banner.

Rist has many good players, and Rist is also a big agent in European football.How could Rist come to talk to himself in the middle of the World Cup for Drogba?So Michel Goba was surprised.

"It's Didier Drogba. I'm here for him."

Michelle Goba was even more confused after confirming.

"why?"

Really why.It was really a big question for Michelle Goba. Although he knew he shouldn't ask such a question, he still couldn't help asking.Why?Why?

"Mr. Goba, it's not that I want to brag, but my scouting system is very formal, covering almost all football powers. And my scout recommended Didier Drogba to me, and I also specially conduct He is very average now, but he has prospects. I am only interested in players with prospects. Although I may have made a mistake in judgment this time, which caused my investment to fail. But I still believe in my vision, and I still willing to invest."

Michel Goba is very happy.Because the agent was a vassal of the player at the beginning, he could only follow the player's reputation up and down.But after the Bosman Act, brokers began to change.A strong agent can start to pave the way for his players, and when a player meets a strong agent, he can benefit from him.

Of course, such an agent in world football can count on five fingers.In fact, most agents, including Rist, are still in the ranks that need to rely on players to increase their worth.

Therefore, an agent like Rist can't do much for those big-name superstars.But it is different for players like Drogba. Once an agent like Rist is willing to cultivate them, he will give them the best development channels.Just like the current Drogba can only be a youth team player in Le Mans in the French second league, but Riester can find Drogba a club where he can play.

Although he was happy, Michel Goba was once an Ivorian national footballer after all, even though he was a little-known player.But he was still able to hold his breath, raised his head and asked: "Mr. Czerny, I can't question your strength. But I know that you have players under your banner. I think there should be dozens of young players in their 20s." name. How can you guarantee that your company's resources will be tilted to Didier's side?"

"Mr. Goba, you are right. The number of young players I have is huge, even beyond your imagination. Now more than 21% of the players in the Czech U19, U17 and U90.00 national teams are my players. As long as there is a young player with good talent in Czech football, none of them can escape my palm."

Although Michelle Goba knew that Rist was the number one agent in the Czech Republic, he still took a deep breath when he heard what Rist said.Because Rist monopolizes young Czech players, that is to say, in a few years, all Czech stars will be Rister players.It's amazing.

"But you don't understand the operation of our company. I can't manage so many players. I don't have so much experience. In fact, I don't know many of those players myself, and I haven't met them. My agency is a management agent. Yes, and those agents bring these players to my company, saying that they are people from my company, which is actually just a different kind of cooperation. The company and I personally have not so many players, and Didier Drogba I'm not going to manage in this way. I'm going to manage it myself. How do you think the company's resources will be tilted?"

"Trust me. I can give him the best chance."

Rist is confident.Because for Rist, it is a breeze to arrange a small player like Drogba.Michelle Goba is also convinced of this. He believes that if Drogba is a player with a strong agent in France, it is impossible to stay in the Le Mans youth team.

Michelle Goba looked at the confident Rist and nodded slowly. (To be continued..)
